38 Preparation Preparation Measurement preparation cautions CAUTION Chemical hazard (solvent S-316) Inhalation or accidental ingestion of a large amount of solvent S-316 may be harmful. Observe the following rules when handling: Ventilate the work area sufficiently. Wear a protective mask and protective gloves. Wash hands well after handling the solvent. Chemical hazard (hydrochloric acid) Hydrochloric acid is toxic by skin or eye exposure. If it touches the skin, immediately rinse with water. If it reaches the eyes, rinse immediately under a large amount of running water and get medical attention. To obtain correct measurement results, it is important to eliminate factors affecting measured values and to keep calibration and measurement conditions as uniform as possible. Observe the precautions below. Be sure to wash your hands before starting work. If oil from your fingers gets on the sample inlet on the product, the measuring utensils, or other parts, the measured value will be affected and correct measurement will be impossible. When measuring sample or reagent quantities, use suitable measuring utensils and measure accurately. When using a microsyringe or measuring syringe, take care that foam and bubbles are not drawn into the syringe. Foam and bubbles will increase measurement error. In addition, read "Operational precautions" and "Solvent handling precautions" in the front matter of this manual. 18

39 Preparation Glassware Items required Beakers (200 ml): 1 or 2 (for drainage) Measuring cylinders (20 ml) or syringes (20 ml, optional): 2 (for solvent and sample) Solvent S-316 (optional) Zero liquid for calibration (refer to " Zero liquid for calibration " (page 20 )) Span liquid for calibration (refer to " Span liquid for calibration " (page 20 )) Hydrochloric acid (refer to " Hydrochloric acid " (page 21 )) Placing the beakers for drainage Follow the steps below to place the drainage beakers. 1. Put tap water into the beakers so that the water level is approx. 1 cm from the bottom. 2. Place the beaker or beakers as shown below. Fig. 22 Placing beakers for drainage Cleaning the measuring cylinders or syringes Clean the measuring cylinders or syringes (for solvent and for the sample) with pure solvent S

40 Preparation Zero liquid for calibration Prepare pure solvent S-316, the same as is used for measurement. Span liquid for calibration Use pure solvent S-316, the same as is used for measurement, to prepare the span liquid for calibration. Using B-heavy oil Use B-heavy oil (specific gravity at 20 C) to prepare span liquid for OCMA-500. When you know the oil type to be measured, you can also use that oil type for the calibration oil. Items required Scale Glass container with a lid (screw-top bottle is recommended) Measuring flask Solvent S-316 (optional) B-heavy oil (specific gravity at 20 C) or calibration oil (when the oil type to be measured is known) Clean the glass utensils to be used with pure solvent S-316, and let them air dry completely. If the utensils cannot be dried completely, purge them 3 times or 4 times using solvent S-316. It is difficult to measure B-heavy oil with a microsyringe because it has a high viscosity. Use a suitably sized glass container with a lid (a screw-top bottle is recommended) for measurement. Preparation method Prepare the liquid so that it has a concentration of approximately twice the measured value of the sample. You can change the calibration value to be input as appropriate for the volume that is actually measured. 1. Use a scale to accurately measure the B-heavy oil in a glass container (with lid) of suitable size. 2. Transfer the B-heavy oil from the glass container to the measuring flask, while cleaning with S Fill the measuring flask to the graduation with solvent S Insert the stopper into the measuring flask and mix the contents well. 20

41 Preparation Hydrochloric acid When an acid is added to a water sample containing organic matter, the solvent and the sample separate easily (salting-out effect). When performing oil content extraction, the salting-out effect can be produced by adding approx. 6 mol/l hydrochloric acid. The procedure for preparing 6 mol/l hydrochloric acid using commercially available concentrated hydrochloric acid (36%) is explained below. Hydrochloric acid preparation method Items required Glass beaker Glass measuring utensil (measuring flask, measuring cylinder, etc.) Glass rod Pure water Commercially available concentrated hydrochloric acid (36%) Clean the glass utensils to be used with pure water, and let them air dry completely. Preparation method 1. Use a measuring cup to determine a specific volume of pure water and transfer it to the glass beaker. 2. Add the same volume (as the pure water) of commercially available hydrochloric acid, adding gradually by running the hydrochloric acid down the glass rod. Always add the hydrochloric acid to the pure water. Do not pour in the hydrochloric acid all at once. Using an incorrect preparation method may cause heat generation and explosive boiling. 21

43 Calibration Calibration Calibration cautions CAUTION Chemical hazard (solvent S-316) Inhalation or accidental ingestion of a large amount of solvent S-316 may be harmful. Observe the following rules when handling: Ventilate the work area sufficiently. Wear a protective mask and protective gloves. Wash hands well after handling the solvent. Chemical hazard (hydrochloric acid) Hydrochloric acid is toxic by skin or eye exposure. If it touches the skin, immediately rinse with water. If it reaches the eyes, rinse immediately under a large amount of running water and get medical attention. When dispensing liquids into the extraction tank, limit the solvent amount to 10 ml or less and the amount of the measurement liquid to 20 ml or less, so that the total volume of liquid does not exceed the upper limit line (30 ml). If the liquid exceeds the upper limit line, the liquid may leak and cause short-circuit in the internal wiring of the product. If liquid containing hydrochloric acid leaks and comes in contact with the skin, irritation and burning may occur. Discard the liquid collected in the beakers before overflow. If liquid containing hydrochloric acid overflows and comes in contact with the skin, irritation and burning may occur. To obtain correct measurement results, it is important to eliminate factors affecting measured values and to keep calibration and measurement conditions as uniform as possible. Observe the precautions below. If the temperature of the measurement liquid or solvent is lower than the inside of the main unit, condensation may form inside the main unit and the indicated value may be unsteady or shift. If the room temperature is less than 5 C, the viscosity of solvent S-316 will increase and the indicated value may be low. In this case, raise the room temperature above 5 C, or set [Fill Cell Time] to a longer value. Avoid performing measurement at high temperature and high humidity. Moisture may cause the indicated value to shift. When the air has a high concentration of hydrocarbons, for instance in an oil refinery, hydrocarbons may be adsorbed inside the product and affect measurement. In this type of location, increase the [Number of Purge] value. Be sure to wash your hands before starting work. If oil from your fingers gets on the sample inlet on the product, the measuring utensils, or other parts, the measured value will be affected and correct measurement will be impossible. Perform measurement with the right cover closed. Measurement cannot be stable with the right cover open. Be sure to perform zero calibration before every measurement. Perform span calibration from once a day to once a week. When you change to a new solvent lot, perform zero calibration and span calibration before measurement using the calibration liquids prepared from the new lot of solvent. 23

44 Calibration Be sure to perform zero calibration before performing span calibration. If zero calibration is performed after span calibration, correct measurement will be impossible. Purging is necessary to prevent effects from the previous measurement liquid. Set [Number of Purge] from 2 to 6. If the concentration changes by 100 mg/l or more from the previous measurement, set [Number of Purge] to 5 or more. When using the built-in extractor, maintain an extraction ratio of solvent:water = 1:2. The instructions in this manual indicate 8 ml of solvent and 16 ml of clean water or sample water to provide an extraction ratio of solvent:water = 1:2. When the built-in extractor is not used, the extraction ratio can be changed. However, be sure to keep the solvent to sample water extraction ratio the same between measurement and calibration. If the extraction ratios are not the same, measurement error will occur due to the differences in the water content of the solvent. In addition, this product is designed for measurement at an extraction ratio of solvent:sample water = 1:2. Other extraction ratios may cause greater measurement error and the specified product performance cannot be guaranteed. When measuring sample or reagent quantities, use suitable measuring utensils and measure accurately. When using a microsyringe or measuring syringe, take care that foam and bubbles are not drawn into the syringe. Foam and bubbles will increase measurement error. Dispense liquid slowly into the extraction tank. A vigorous dispense of liquid may cause overflow. If an abnormality occurs during measurement, calibration, or liquid drainage, operation may stop. The alarm icon will blink. Check the alarm information on the Current Alarm screen (refer to " Current Alarm screen " (page 57 ) and " Alarm displays and actions " (page 102)). In addition, read "Operational precautions" and "Solvent handling precautions" in the front matter of this manual. 24

55 Measurement Preprocessing Removing fine particles If the sample water contains fine particles or other impurities, use an ashless cellulose quantitative filter paper (particle retention: 8 µm) to remove the impurities before dispensing the sample into the product. Fig. 35 Removal of fine particles Performing preliminary extraction outside the product For the following types of sample water, perform extraction outside the product prior to dispensing the sample into the product. Sample water that has an oil membrane or oil drops floating on the surface It cannot be measured in a measuring utensil. Extraction must be performed using the entire sample. Sample water containing large amounts of suspended material (sand, organic materials, etc.) It will clog the measuring utensil or internal filter, and may damage the measuring utensil or the product. Sample water that is difficult to separate from the solvent after extraction (sample water containing emulsifying substances) If any incompletely separated solvent is sent to the water filter, emulsifying substances or water content in the solvent may cause clogging in the water filter and an accurate measurement will not be possible. " Examples of measurement by extraction outside the product " (page 47 ) Points to check prior to measurement Did you perform calibration? Is the warm-up icon off? Is the alarm icon off? Are the beakers for drainage in place? If not, first perform zero calibration, then perform span calibration. If the warm-up icon is blinking, wait until it turns off.

67 Measurement Examples of measurement by extraction outside the product This section describes examples of extraction performed outside the product without using the built-in extractor. The methods described below are only examples for reference. These methods may not be the optimum methods for some sample types. Use an extraction and measurement method that is appropriate for the actual sample. Oil content in water For the following types of sample water, extraction must be performed outside the product prior to dispensing the sample into the product. Sample water that has an oil membrane or oil drops floating on the surface It cannot be measured in a measuring utensil. Extraction must be performed using the entire sample. Sample water containing large amounts of suspended material (sand, organic materials, etc.) It will clog the measuring utensil or internal filter, and may damage the measuring utensil or the product. Sample water that is difficult to separate from the solvent after extraction (sample water containing emulsifying substances) If any incompletely separated solvent is sent to the water filter, emulsifying substances or water content in the solvent may cause clogging in the water filter and an accurate measurement will not be possible. The water filter in the product serves to removes water particles. However if the sample water contains emulsifying substances, fine water particles may pass through the water filter. When this type of sample is measured repeatedly, the water filter tends to clog and accurate measurement is no longer possible. If the measured value suddenly becomes a negative value or extremely low value, it is likely that water has entered the measurement cell due to water filter clogging or damage. (A negative value indicated during zero calibration is not abnormal.) Replace the water filter at regular intervals, even if it does not appear to be dirty (refer to " Replacing the water filter " (page 94 )). ). Checking layer separation If a sample potentially contains emulsifying substances, check if the solvent layer and water layer are separated in advance. The following are typical examples of water that is likely to contain emulsifying substances. Miscellaneous domestic gray water Industrial wastewater Activated sludge water (when the killed bacteria in the activated sludge is introduced, the content of the bacteria dissolves and acts in the same way as emulsifying substances.) Items required Glass container with a lid (screw-top bottle is recommended) (50 ml) Sample water Clean solvent S-316 (optional) 47

68 Measurement Checking procedure 1. Dispense 8 ml of solvent and 16 ml of sample water into the glass container with a lid. 2. Screw the lid closed and shake for 1 minute by hand. Fig. 50 Mixing solvent and sample water by shaking 3. Place on a flat surface, and check if the mixture completely separates into two layers after 20 seconds to 30 seconds. Fig. 51 Checking layer separation If a boundary surface has formed between the solvent layer and water layer, it can be concluded that the layers "have been separated". The following cases show that the layers have not been separated. Separation into two layers takes more than 40 seconds A whitish cloudy layer forms between the two layers Bubbles with a diameter of greater than 10 mm get formed in multiple places throughout the liquid and a boundary surface cannot be identified 48

69 Measurement Extraction Items required Separating funnel (300 ml) *1 : 2 (for sample extraction and for zero point checking) Measuring cylinder (200 ml) *1 : 3 (for sample, for solvent, and for clean water) Dropper (provided): 1 (for hydrochloric acid) ph meter Filter paper (if suspended material will be removed and as needed) *2 Glass container (if suspended material will be removed or water will be removed from solvent layer) *1 Teflon membrane filter (mesh diameter 20 µm to 40 µm) (if water will be removed from solvent layer) Glass funnel *1 (if water will be removed from solvent layer) Measuring utensil (if water will be removed from solvent layer) Sample water Clean water *3 Hydrochloric acid (refer to " Hydrochloric acid " (page 21 )) Clean solvent S-316 (optional) Anhydrous sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) (if water will be removed from solvent layer) *1: Clean the glass utensils with solvent in advance and let air dry. *2: Use solvent to elute and clean organic material from the filter paper in advance, and let air dry. *3: Use the same clean water for the sequence of tasks from zero calibration to measurement. Normally pure water should be used. If the sample contains large amounts of water-soluble substances, such as urea or NaCl, and the concentration is known, perform zero calibration using this oil-free aqueous solution. Extraction procedure 1. Measure 200 ml of clean water into the measuring cylinder for clean water, measure 100 ml of clean solvent into the measuring cylinder for solvent, and dispense these into the separating funnel for zero point checking. 2. Measure 160 ml to 200 ml of sample water into the measuring cylinder for sample, and dispense into the separating funnel for sample extraction. If the sample contains emulsifying substances, it is recommended that you use a smaller amount of sample water (approx. 100 ml). 3. Measure an amount of clean solvent equal to 1/2 the amount of sample water in the measuring cylinder for solvent, and transfer this to the measuring cylinder for sample. 4. Rinse the inside of the measuring cylinder for sample with the solvent, and add this solvent to the separating funnel for sample extraction. 5. Use the dropper to add 0.2 ml to 0.5 ml (5 drops to 10 drops) of hydrochloric acid to each separating funnel (for sample extraction and for zero point checking). If the sample contains emulsifying substances, there is no need to add hydrochloric acid. 6. Use the ph meter to check the ph value (ph 2 to ph 3) of each separating funnel (for sample extraction and for zero point checking). 49

70 Measurement 7. Insert the stopper in each separating funnel (for sample extraction and for zero point checking) and shake for approx. 5 minutes. If the sample contains emulsifying substances, it is recommended that you shake for a shorter time (approx. 1 minute). Fig. 52 Extraction The internal pressure will increase as you shake. Open the cock from time to time to reduce the internal pressure. 8. After shaking, wait until the water and solvent get separated, and check the status of the sample water. If almost no suspended material is visible and the water and solvent have separated, collect the solvent layer (lower layer) and use that as the measurement liquid. If there is suspended material or the water and solvent have not sufficiently separated and the solvent layer is cloudy, proceed to the "Removing suspended material" and "Removing water from the solvent layer" procedures. Removal of suspended material 1. Filter the solvent layer through the filter paper into the glass container and use this as the measurement liquid. Removing water from the solvent layer 1. Collect only parts that can be recognized as solvent in the glass container, and check the status of the liquid. If no water particles are visible and the liquid is clear, use it as measurement liquid. If you can see water particles with a diameter of 0.1 mm or larger or the liquid appears whitish overall, follow the steps below to remove water from the solvent layer. 50

71 Measurement Fig. 53 Separating the solvent layer Fig. 54 Visually checking the solvent layer 2. Filter the liquid through the Teflon membrane filter. 3. Gradually add the anhydrous sodium sulfate and shake well to mix. If the sample contains emulsifying substances, place filter paper in the funnel and filter the solvent layer into a container containing 10 g of anhydrous sodium sulfate. Fig. 55 Removing water from the solvent layer 4. Continue performing step 3. until the solvent layer is clear. 5. If anhydrous sodium sulfate crystals remain, filter with filter paper. 6. After waiting, collect the supernatant liquid using a measuring utensil and use this as measurement liquid. 51

73 Measurement Oil content in or on solids Directly immerse the part in the solvent to extract the oil content. Although an ultrasonic cleaner can be used for extraction. The solvent volatilization volume and changes in water content will be larger and may have a greater effect on the measured value. In addition, elution and peeling of the part may occur. Extraction by the immersion method is recommended. To obtain a correct measurement result, it is important that the solvent conditions is the same for calibration and measurement. Observe the precautions below. Water is not used for extraction of oil content on metal parts. Use the same lot of solvent for zero calibration and span calibration, which is used for extraction. Do not use water. Solvent volatilization during extraction will affect measurement results. The effect of solvent volatilization can be reduced by performing, in parallel with extraction from the metal part, the same processing using solvent only, and using that solvent to perform zero calibration and span calibration. In particular, if an ultrasonic cleaner is used for extraction, always process the solvent to be used for zero calibration and span calibration with the ultrasonic cleaner as well. Extraction Items required Measuring cylinder (select a size appropriate for the amount of solvent) *1 Wide-mouthed glass container with lid (select a size appropriate for the size of the sample and the amount of solvent) *1 Ashless cellulose quantitative filter paper (particle retention: 8 µm) *2 Glass funnel *1 Glass container *1 Ultrasonic cleaner (if used) Part to be measured (referred to as sample in the rest of this section) Clean solvent S-316 (optional) *1: Clean the glass utensils with solvent in advance and let air dry. *2: Use solvent to elute and to clean organic material from the filter paper in advance, and let air dry. Extraction procedure 1. Place the sample in the wide-mouthed glass container with a lid. 2. Fill an amount of solvent into the measuring cylinder sufficient to immerse the entire sample. 3. Pour the measured solvent into the wide-mouthed container and immediately close the lid. 4. Wait with the lid closed, shaking from time to time, for 1 minute. If needed, the time can be extended. It is possible to apply the sonic cleaner with the lid closed (no more than 3 minutes). 53

74 Measurement Fig. 56 Oil content extraction from part (immersion) Do not shake the container with the solvent and with closed lid hard. If it is shaken hard, the internal pressure will increase due to vaporization of the solvent and the solvent may spray out from gaps under the lid. After shaking, open the lid briefly to lower the internal pressure and then promptly close the lid. Do not apply the ultrasonic cleaner longer than 3 minutes. 5. Filter the liquid through the filter paper to remove foreign matter (particles, peeled fragments, etc.), and use it as the measurement liquid. Zero calibration Perform zero calibration using the conditions in the table below. Parameter Extraction Time Separation Time Number of Purge Zero liquid for calibration Condition 0 sec 0 sec 3 or more Use 24 ml of zero liquid for calibration. Do not introduce water during zero calibration.
